...Low down big power.

Seems to peak round 7500, and from 1500 up she's strong!!!

Well, I'm drooling. Wish I was there to see this.

... Been asked if it can feature in a music video for a biker song...

Cool! Let us know how that goes...

Thanks TwoMany!

Ordered the acewell 4544 today.

Be here early August.

Then I'm done. I think

Hahaha. You know better than that!

I have another brown seat and a spare tank as well as a set of those notorious x-pipes.

Just for a different look on occasion.

I love this thing!!

There are some great roads in the eastern side of the country, maybe 600kms away.

Wife and I wanna go for a long ride, her on my 650cs BMW, and me on the monster.

Next month.

Winter is great here. Dry. 20-25C.

Getting old. Ungracefully



Ride safe all!!

have you ever fitted the xpipes ,if you do can you do a write up on fitment and if you see any performace increase / decrease ,its only out of curiosity as iv a set sitting under the bench (got sent the wrong headers and he wouldn't admit it ) always been curious as been a very costly mistake ...600ks should be a good shake down ride ,have fun

 

[JohnGoodenough]

I had the x-pipes on briefly, but that was years ago.

I'll have to go for a burn with them on with the BMW around in order to have an opinion I reckon.

But I'm pretty sure to not be too pleasantly surprised..

Thanks for the interest shown gentlemen

I seem to be hearing a whirring sound which I think is from the starter after she starts.
Have I done something wrong?

 

[JohnGoodenough]

Whirring stopped on its own.
Damn, this thing runs!!!


Probably did 100km today. Didn't take long..

 

[JohnGoodenough]

More pics!!

 

[racerdave]

John, I think you should ship the bike to me here in the states, I can then put it in american sunlight for others to drool over.

 

[TwoManyXS1Bs]

I second the motion...

 

[JohnGoodenough]

Right.
Spare tank and seat as well as the x-pipe will be mounted this weekend, just for a different look.

And a new sound.

The cops came by and warned me about noise

 

[FLEA]

subscribed...... xpipe curiosity

 

[JohnGoodenough]

X pipes on.
Pics in last album
Haven't had time to ride her.

Wadda y'all think?

 

[racerdave]

I prefer the scrambler pipes

 

[FLEA]

looking good ,not knocking your work but curious why your running the cheap air pod filters ,they would have to restrict air flow into that beast of a motor??? will be intresting to see if the pipes make any difference ,like the LOOK of them (running hughs speedster pipes on mine)

 

[JohnGoodenough]

Hi Flea
I was under the impression those were high flow filters.

Which would you suggest?

Any critique is appreciated

Thanks

 

[FLEA]

cant get a real good look on my computer but was always under the impression they were restrictive at certain revs but I'm definitely no exspert maybe 1 of the carb gurus can chip in as I'm running them on my vm34s at the moment with problems tuning carbs ,have been advised to change to kn filters by hugh to suit his speedster pipes (with 2in baffles)

 

[JohnGoodenough]

No more opinions on pipes or air filters?

 

[JohnGoodenough]

Thank you Dave and Flea!!
